Zhuo Qiaoniang said urgently: "What about Mingkong? There he is? Hurry up and see if there is any help. ”

"It's hopeless!" The thin man was about to shrink into a ball, "I only came here for half a day to save him!" The cliff was so steep that it was impossible to descend, and it took me about an hour to make a detour down to the bottom. The cliff was so high that his body was almost broken. I tried to carry him back, but the ground was covered with thick snow and it was uphill again. It took a lot of effort to carry a short section of the road, but he couldn't carry it anymore, so he put him down the slope and ran back to report. ”

Leng Yi said: "Then take us quickly!" ”

"I'm not going! I'm almost tired and out of breath, and it's useless to go, so go yourself. The body was placed under the big locust tree at the three-way intersection three miles away from the temple hillside. ”

They were familiar with everything around this temple, and the place that the thin man Ming Shou said, they naturally knew where it was. Seeing that he was so tired that he was about to collapse, he let him stay, and the rest of the people hurried to the big locust tree at the three-way intersection.

The abbot also suggested that Leng Yi stay, but Leng Yi insisted on taking Zhuo Qiaoniang with him, and he wanted to see the body as soon as possible. This case is even more confusing now, and no clue can be missed.

Out of the temple, it starts to go downhill. The snow was so thick that it was knee-deep. Moreover, there are still snowflakes in the sky.

They had been walking hard in the snow for less than an hour, and the horse-faced Mingzong finally pointed ahead and said, "Oh! The big locust tree at the three-fork has arrived! ”

Leng Yi raised his eyes and saw a black spot lying on a big stone in the distance. They got closer, and finally saw that it was a corpse.

Leng Yi stepped forward and took a closer look, only to see the corpse of the monk Mingkong crawling downward, probably because he had carried it all the way, and there was no blood under his body.

Leng Yi grabbed the corpse's shoulder and wanted to turn the corpse over, feeling that the corpse [***], the temperature was very low, and the corpse stiffness appeared quickly and with great intensity.

When the corpse was turned over, everyone was stunned, and Zhuo Qiaoniang, who was standing in the distance, screamed in fright and covered her face with her hands. --I saw that the face of the monk Mingkong had been completely deformed, probably because his head was hit on the rock, and his entire head and cheeks were sunken in, and it was terrifying to watch!

Leng Yi didn't even frown, he carefully inspected the corpse little by little, including the fractures of his hands and feet, and unbuttoned the corpse's clothes to inspect it. After reading it, he touched his chin, pondered for a moment, and suddenly said, "Not good! Go back! The thin man is in danger! ”

The abbot and the others all looked at him in amazement.

Leng Yi said: "Mingzong and Mingjing, the two of you will come back with the corpses, and the rest of you will rush to the temple with me immediately!" ”

When they returned to the temple out of breath, they began to shout the name of the thin man Mingmori, but the whole temple was empty and there was no answer.

Zhuo Qiaoniang's face turned pale, what she was most worried about was the box of tax gold! By looking for the thin man Mingmori, she looked at the snowdrift where the box was buried, but it still didn't move. That's reassuring.

At this moment, the white-bearded old voice came out from the Daxiong Treasure Hall: "Someone! Come on! The thin man is here! He ......, he's dead! ”

Leng Yi was the first to rush into the Daxiong Treasure Hall, and saw the body of the thin man Mingshou curled up in the corner of the gate, shrunk into a ball. Two hands are protected in front of their chests, two eyes are wide, mouths are wide open, and one face has been completely distorted. Apparently I saw something extremely terrifying, and I was scared to death.

Leng Yi has handled so many murder cases, and he has never encountered a case of being scared to death. Looking at this terrifying corpse, he also felt a chill down his spine.

Four died in two days! The monks in the temple plus him, there are only eight in total, and half of them are already dead! The abbot was almost crying.

However, an outcome that frightened him even more came to his mind. - The thin man Mingshou was scared to death, and the previous monk Mingkong was also frightened by the ghost and fell off the cliff in a panic, will this ghost find them one by one and scare them to death one by one?

Looking at the abbot's pale face, Leng Yi twisted the short beard on his chin with his fingers, and muttered, "Carry the body to the corner and put it together." ”

The horse-faced Mingzong and the hanging eyebrows Mingjing stayed behind to carry the corpse of the guest monk Mingkong, and the thin man Mingshou was already dead, and there were only abbots Juehui and white-bearded Mingtong here. Leng Yi is the county master, so he can't let the county master help carry the corpse, right? The two whitebeards had to take matters into their own hands. But the thin man Mingshou was scared to death. The body was highly tense and spasmed and stiff, and there was no way to lift it flat. I had to roll it up like this and carry it to the corner where the corpse was placed.

Leng Yi looked at them, suddenly remembered something, slowly raised his head, looked at the Big Buddha, and was dazed. Abbot Juehui and Whitebeard Ming came by, and when they saw him staring blankly at the face of the Big Buddha, they also looked up, and all of a sudden, they were stunned by the scene they saw, and the mouth of the Big Buddha had also been dug out!

It's strange, in the morning, the mouth of the big Buddha is still good. After learning that the Zhike monk Mingkong fell to death, except for the thin man Mingshou, everyone else went to transport the body of the Zhike monk Mingkong. But after returning, the mouth of the Buddha was also gouged out. Could it be that the thin man Ming Shou did it? Because he dug the five senses of the Big Buddha, he was scared to death by the Big Buddha? If so, then what did he do by digging the Buddha's facial features?

The abbot and Mingtong were scared enough, but Leng Yi stood in front of the main hall, twisting his beard and looking at the Buddha, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Until the horse-faced Mingzong and the hanging eyebrows Mingjing came back with the corpse of the monk Mingkong. Leng Yi turned around at this time. And by this time, his eyes were already bright.

After the horse-faced Mingzong learned that the thin man Mingshou had been scared to death by the ghost, they were also trembling with fear. But no matter how scared they were, they had to do something, so the two of them trembled and unloaded the two door panels, set them up on a bench, put the door panels on them, and then placed the corpses of the Zhike monk Mingkong and the thin man Mingshou on them. It's just that the two corpses are already stiff, lying there in a strange posture, looking at the stop. ，

Leng Yi said to his abbot Juehui: "You big Buddhas have been dug up beyond recognition, how ugly is this, aren't you afraid of the Buddha's blame?" It's better to find a way to fix it early. ”

Abbot Juehui didn't know why he suddenly talked about the repair of the Big Buddha, but he didn't want to ask too much, so he nodded with a haha.

Leng Yi said: "Is there mud in the temple?" If you have one, hurry up and close the mud and immediately repair the statue of the Buddha, this is a matter of accumulating yin virtue, hurry up! -- You just didn't repair the statue of the Buddha in time and offended the Buddha, which is why you have caused so many disasters. Listen to me, just fix the damaged parts of the Buddha statue, and it will be fine soon! ”

Juehui didn't know if Zhixian's words were a joke or the truth, so she stood there stunned and looked at him.

Leng Yi's face sank, and he said, "Didn't you hear what the county said?" Hurry up and go to the mud! ”

"Yes, yes!" Jue Hui hurriedly agreed, and asked Ma Face Mingzong and them to prepare the mud. But he was stopped by Leng Yi again: "Be more prepared, the Buddha and Bodhisattva I saw in the temple have empty stomachs." It's not good for you to do this! Let the Buddha and Bodhisattva have an empty stomach, and he still has the mind to take care of your affairs! Gotta get it solid! Speaking of this, he tilted his head and looked at the big Buddha: "Na! You big Buddha is like this, it's hollow inside! No wonder the Buddha was not happy, so he sent disaster to you! - Prepare more mud and fill the empty space in the belly of the Buddha! ”

Mingjing and Mingzong promised to leave, but they saw Leng Yi quietly gesturing to them and signaling not to go. They didn't know what Leng Yi was doing, so they stood there and looked at him suspiciously.

Leng Yi then said loudly: "I don't know if there is anyone hiding in this Buddha's belly, if there is, this mud is poured into it, isn't it buried alive in it and suffocated?" As he spoke, he deliberately climbed up to the base of the Big Buddha with great effort, patted it on the belly of the Big Buddha with his hand, and said, "Is there anyone?" If there weren't any, we'd be pouring mud into it! ”

Suddenly, a voice buzzed from the belly of the Buddha: "Don't pour! I'm in there! ”
